Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 코끝으로 가져가면 31년을 보낸 술에서 예상보다 굵은 피트 연기가 곧장 밀려온다. 다시 흔들어 향을 열면 연기 뒤로 곡물 냄새와 사과 주스 같은 단내가 드러나지만 층이 복잡하게 겹치지는 않는다. 한 모금을 머금으면 46도의 술이 힘 있게 혀를 채우며 훈연과 단맛이 동시에 밀고 들어온다. 삼킨 자리에는 연기와 달콤함이 나란히 남아 1965년 원액의 굵고 단순한 성격을 그대로 보여준다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
dark straw
air Nose
very peaty but rather simple. Lots of smoke but also lots of grainy notes. Notes of apple juice. Quite nice but lacking complexity
restaurant Palate
bold and extremely powerful, extremely peaty and extremely sweet. But again, not extremely complex. A bit too sweet for my tastes, in fact. I think Ardbeg needs more ageing. Now, it’s not bad at all, of course: 82 points (but I know some other Maniacs who rated it up to 93 points) CRAZY CANADIANS - Fellow malt maniac Davin de Kergommeaux, from Ottawa, reports: " It is known here that you can buy a recently emptied whisky barrel to use as a rain barrel or whatever, but if you add a bit of water, seal it up and then roll it around you can extract a lot of whisky from the wood and make a type of home-made hooch called "Swish". I know the barrels at the garden centres often smell very much like whisky and they are often very charred inside which would provide a lot more places for the whisky to soak into the wood (...) But I have never actually done this myself, so maybe it's just an urban legend... " Well, according to Mile High Distilling from Colorado, Swish does exist as they are selling various 'essences' that will help you convert your 'swish' into either Bourbon, or into a famous 'red label' whisky, or even, yes, into a more 'classic Canadian whiskey'. MUSIC – Recommended listening: French and German DJ's Miss Kittin (photo) and Sven Väth do Serge Gainsbourg's scandalous Je vais et je viens.mp3 ... Thirty five years later, the technique seams to be as popular as ever! Please buy their music if you're into that kind of stuff... or fly to Ibiza this summer!
